Dear community,
I want to classify aerosol subtypes of level 2 profiles using AVD flag given by CALIPSO? Please note that I am not using vertical feature mask product. I want CALIPSO Lidar Level 2 5km Aerosol Profile data and subtypes of profile using AVD flag? Kindly please help me to do this analysis in MATLAB?

Re: How to classify aerosol subtype using AVD flag in CALIPSO?
Hello,
Thank you for your interest in CALIPSO data.
Here is a description of the AVD flag, which is numerically the feature classification flags:
https://www-calipso.larc.nasa.gov/resources/calipso_users_guide/data_desc/cal_lid_l2_profile_v4-51_desc.php#atmospheric_volume_description
So if you can decode that parameter you should be able to decode this flag.
Thanks
